This is my first post here in the music forum. I assumed that there might be a topic very similar to this since it is such a general question but I did not find one with the NT Search.  If I missed it, my apologies....

Turns out that I had no idea of how great this show would be considered to be until a couple of years later.

Me and some of my friends rolled to a place called the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach (northern san diego) to see the Pharcyde play with a couple of bands called The Roots and The Fugees.  At the time I had no idea who any of the three were. I was heavily into San Diego punk bands and wasn't  into the hip hop  scene at all.  It was just gonna be another show for me; hanging out with my friends. Some of the girls we ran with swore by the Fugees and the Pharcyde so we all went. 

Pharcyde opened with a little x-over with the Roots.  i dont remember the songs they did.  i do remember lots of slow freestyling and really heavy beats    When Lauryn Hill came out on stage ( killer legs) to close out with Wyclef, the whole place went off.

Yeah im old, this was back in the fall of 95.

The two best shows ive seen is when i saw Nas at fridays at sunset 2 years ago. And seeing kid cudi at the norva last summer, the man knows how to put on a hell of a show.

Jay-Z and Friends in Philly @ The Wachovia Center in 'O4...

...T.I., DMX, Busta, Foxy, Diddy, Mary J, Bleek, and a gang of Ns I'm forgettin'.

Favorite moment in show: N' Puff hypin' the whole stadium up on some crowd participation *#+# - ''Now the left side get hype!!!'' *beat drops to Lil Jon's ''Watchu Gon Do?''* Left side goes 18 dummy...

...''Now the right side say, '+*#* the left side!!''' *beat drops to ''It's All About the Benjamins''* Right side screams loud enuff to shut the stadium down.

Me and my homie dropped a pretty penny for floor seats right in the middle section in front of the stage, and here's why Puff's crowd participation was my favorite part of the whole star-studded event: Like a true music nerd, I was in the middle wonderin', ''Damn - they already dropped the hot *#+#, what beat we gon' rock to?''

...N' Puff stepped to the front of the stage bossed up like, ''NOW THE MIIIIIIIIIIDLE!!!!!'' *beat to Snoop and Skateboard's ''Drop It Like It's Hot'' drops DUMB LOUD* *%!!$$' crowd goes INSANE - Ns just let the song rock and EVERYBODY was bouncin' to that *#+#!!!

Diddy has perfected the art of rocking a crowd

...crazy part was - Jay came on after all that *#+# and tore that *%!!$$' stage the hell DOWN.

Radiohead at an outdoor pavillion. My brother and I were so far back in the grass, it was humid like a $!@^& and I had to play reseller prices for tickets (100 for lawn seats.

) but the moment the concert started, we didn't sit down until it was over. 2 encores, damn near all of In Rainbows and all the crazy samples during The National Anthem/Idioteque... show was definately worth it even if I was broke for a few weeks afterward.
Second was actually a Portugal. The Man show. The opening band just rocked the $%&^ out and PTM had these crazy lights and when the smoke kicked in, it was a wrap.

Off top, I gotta say Mars Volta at the Austin Music Hall a couple years back. First Volta concert I went to and maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, they played for like 4-5 hours straight. Definitely one of the best concerts I've attended.
